Founded in 2002, Goldstar is headquartered in Pasadena, CA, and is 100% founder, family and employee owned.To truly understand Goldstar it may be easier to think about what we’re not. We’re not a secondary ticket broker. We’re also not a ticket exchange or auction site. And even though we publish discounts and it’s free to sign-up for our email newsletter, we’re not a daily deals site. Think of us as a club where you’re always in the know about local events, tipped off about a cool show, and given access to great deals on tickets. In fact, at Goldstar we like to say that we’re not in the business of finding buyers for our tickets, we’re in the business of finding tickets for our buyers.
